The first BAD BOYS was decent because Michael Bay didn't have money to spend. It still featured the strobe edit style, but the film was down and dirty.
Once his budgets blew up and producers and studios started indulging his every whim, his movies went into the crapper. ARMAGEDDON being the worst film of his career and 1998.
He's one of the worst filmmakers working today.

I like all of Bay's movies (even Pearl Harbor). Bay movies are not going to win critical acclaim, but they are all fun. He brings action, comedy, explosions, stunts, colors, trailer shots, and great camera work to his films. The Rock and Bad Boys II are both among my top 50 favorite movies.

I consider "Bad Boys", "Bad Boys II", and "The Rock" to be excellent action films. "Armageddon" is not without its flaws but is still a very good entry in the genre.
"Pearl Harbor" gets my vote. Thought it was a below-average movie.

Pearl Harbor is hands down one of the worst films I've ever seen.
so my vote goes to Pearl Harbor.
However kids, let's not forget how terrible Armageddon was.

The Rock and Armageddon are pretty darn swell action flicks. Pearl Harbor was ambitious, but ultimately disappointing. Bad Boys was garbage, so obviously I never saw the sequel.

Asking which Michael Bay movie is the "worst" is like comparing my cat's dumps. While some may smell worse than others, in the end they're still just s**t.
That being said, i gotta go with pearl harbor.

Pearl Harbor, simply because it's the only one on the list I haven't seen and it looks to be full of suck , the other films are good IMO

The Rock is one of my favorites, and both Bad Boys were great action movies.
Armageddon was good, but not great. As somebody above said Pearl Harbor would've been much better with less focus on the love story.
